I'm a bit confused about what you are testing --- the kqueue patch
as per this thread, or that plus the WaitLatch refactorizations in
the other thread you point to above?
I've gotten through check-world successfully with the v14 kqueue patch
atop yesterday's HEAD on:
* macOS Catalina 10.15.2 (current release)
* FreeBSD/amd64 12.0-RELEASE-p12
* NetBSD/amd64 8.1
* NetBSD/arm 8.99.41
* OpenBSD/amd64 6.5
(These OSes are all on bare metal, no VMs involved)
This just says it doesn't lock up, of course. I've not attempted
any performance-oriented tests.
